Thank you very much for the fast reply. This makes sense, I will 
modify the patch in this direction.

I think you are right, the gpio-mxs driver has no PM operations, so 
if it responsible for restoring the interrupt level, no wonder it 
doesn't. This would require implementing the PM ops, which would 
take some additional work, I'll see if I can get around to doing this.
 
Best regards,

Laurent
